Düsseldorf, Germany | Summer 2002 This summer I am doing an internship at the Multimedia
Center at Düsseldorf University. Currently I am working on a project in SVG which is an extension of XML for describing
vector graphics. The technology is very similar to flash but it can be coded directly into an HTML document in tags instead
of viewed thru a plug-in player as Flash is. For more information go to
Adobe SVG Zone.
I attained this internship kinda in a cheap way. My girlfriend's friend's father works in this department and he said they
needed interns. So, I sent my resumé and I got it. It's unpaid which also really blows but I get to spend the entire
summer with my girlfriend and also travel around Europe a bit. I've already visited my Dutch friend once in the Netherlands.
We have plans to go at least once more to Holland, and we're hoping to go on a real vacation to southern France and Italy sometime
in July. I heard the beaches are pretty nice there.
